The following plants have
all been chosen as All-America Selections. The
awards have been running since 1933 and this award
identifies them as amongst the best new
introductions of their year. With the first awards
made over sixty-five years ago, it's inevitable
that many of the plants on this list are no longer
available. However it's also true to say that many
older vareieties, including some from the very
first year of these awards, are still listed by
seed companies. Lookout for the logo in seed
catalogues and on seed packets.
